INT MEDIA GROUP LAUNCHES GRIDCOMPUTINGPLANET.COM WEB SITE AND COMPANION TRADE SHOW
(New York, NY - January 3, 2002) - INT Media Group, Incorporated (Nasdaq:INTM) today announced the launch of GridComputingPlanet.com (www.gridcomputingplanet.com), a Web site devoted to in-depth coverage of the grid computing industry. The company also announced the launch of its Grid Computing Planet Spring 2002 Conference & Expo slated for June 17-18 at the DoubleTree Hotel in San Jose, California."Grid computing is a method of harnessing the power of many computers in a network to solve problems requiring a large number of processing cycles and involving huge amounts of data. Rather than using a network of computers simply to communicate and transfer data, grid computing taps the unused processor cycles of numerous -- sometimes thousands of -- computers," stated Alan M. Meckler, Chairman and CEO of INT Media Group. "Grid Computing Planet will become the gateway to grid computing and help solve problems that are beyond the processing limits of individual computers, as well as being a resource center for the technical community, online and offline."
GridComputingPlanet.com is under the editorial direction of Chris Nerney, Executive Editor of EarthWeb.com's IT Management Channel. Nerney previously was Executive Editor of internet.com's Internet Investing Channel and was a Senior Editor at IDG's Network World, where he created the popular "Net Buzz" column and covered Java, network security and venture capital.
